From the Jerusalem Post:
In the first case of its kind, a Palestinian Authority "military court" on Tuesday sentenced a Palestinian man to death by hanging after finding him guilty of selling land to Jews.Sure, let's give these mafioso thugs a state. Tushy Obama says protecting Israel's security is a "top priority." Attempting to coerce Israel into accepting a state run by a body politic that endorses, enacts, and condones this type of "justice" is in fact an indicator that the Resident does not give one shit about Israel's security.
~snip~
The three-judge panel found the defendant guilty of violating PA laws that bar Palestinians from selling property to "the enemy." In its ruling, the court, which convened in Hebron, said that Brigith had acted in violation of a Palestinian "military law" dating back to 1979, which states that it is forbidden for a Palestinian to sell land to Jews.
The accused was also found guilty of violating a law dating back to 1958 that calls for a boycott against Israel, as well as another law from 1953 that bans trade with Israelis.
The judges issued the verdict unanimously and pointed out that the defendant did not have the right to appeal. The death sentence, however, must be approved by PA President Mahmoud Abbas.

The court also decided to confiscate Brigith's money and property.
Although the PA has never executed Palestinians accused of selling land to Jews, several "suspects" have been kidnapped and murdered by Palestinian security personnel or members of armed groups in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Hatem Abdel Kader, a PA legislator from Jerusalem, told The Jerusalem Post that he fully supported the death sentence against "traitors" involved in real estate deals with Jews.
He urged the PA courts to issue death sentences in absentia against any Palestinian found guilty of such transactions, especially in Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem.
So, ya think we'll hear a statement of condemnation of this from the US Department of State? Don't count on it.
Why do Leftist wingnuts support this shit? Oh yeah, Judeophobia.

Noi no statement against this behavior. I feel as if they are condoning this behavior by ignoring and not condemning it. These people are monsters...and totally reprehensible.
I say this Israel takes the West Bank and throw the Arabs the Gaza strip and close the gates.
So it is necessary to allow the Palestinians to cross the border into Israel to purchase things but they can't sell real estate to make some money or give back land to Israel.
I get it now even the PA is extremmely intolerant!
When egregiously stupid things like this happen it's certainly tempting to fall into that mindset. A Palestinian state was mandated. It is now Jordan which has a majority Palestinian population controlled by the minority Hashemite regime that has been propped up by Mossad for decades. King Abdullah, and his father owe their lives, and their fiefdom's continued existence to Israel.
Hindsight being 20/20 it probably would have saved a lot of people a lot of tsuris if the original mandate plan had been upheld, but that didn't happen and here we are. What I want is regime change. Recent polls indicate that 3/4 of Israelis and Palestinians support a "two-state solution." No doubt both sides have different visions of what that will look like. Bottom line for me is no Palestinian state with Fatah and/or Hamas in charge. The way of the gun and the suicide bomb must end. Neither of those parties have any interest in that so as far as I'm concerned they can fucking go to hell.
The best thing Israel can do is give rank and file Palestinians the opportunity to increase their personal wealth. When their standard of living increases under an economic peace umbrella we'll see if we start hearing demands from the street to abandon terror.
I would prefer for regime change to be demanded by Palestinians. If that doesn't happen I'll accept other means because until that happens there is no "secure peace" for Israel.
